Earth Science Budget Features: What’s New

• Redefines the framework for satellite development projects: NOAA responsible for satellite missions for weather and space weather forecasts and warnings NASA responsible for development of all other non-defense Earth-observing satellite missions NASA will implement a Sustainable Land Imaging program with USGS that will include:

o TIR-FF (2019)o Upgraded Landsat-9 (2023)o Focused technology development to inform designs of Landsat-10+o USGS will operate these satellites and collect, archive, process and distribute the data

NASA responsible for long-term altimetry measurements after Jason-3 NASA responsible for all future measurements of Solar Irradiance, Ozone Profile and Earth Radiation

Budget • Initiates formulation of PACE as a directed design-to-cost mission• Completes development of OCO-3 for flight on ISS in 2017• Initiates formulation of CLARREO Pathfinder instruments for flight on ISS in 2019• Enhances Research, Applications and Technology Programs with funding to:

Improve understanding of coupled North Atlantic-Arctic system Conduct research to understand linkages between oceans and climate Transition InVEST from pilot to ongoing program to demonstrate instrument and subsystem

technologies through flight in space on cubesats Accelerate ramp-up of initiatives in Food Security, Freshwater Availability, and Disaster Response

Earth Science Budget Features: What’s the Same

• Balanced program comprising flight, research, data systems, applications and technology development to provide:

– High quality global measurements of the Earth’s water, atmosphere, land and vegetation and their interactions

– Research to understand …– Modeling capability to …– Free and open access to data and research results

• Continues operations of on-orbit research satellite constellation, consistent with Senior Review recommendations

• Advances development of CYGNSS, GRACE-FO, TEMPO, ICESat-2 and SWOT for launch before 2022

• Continues formulation of NISAR mission with ISRO • Completes development and test of SAGE-III for launch to the ISS in FY16• Continues Venture-Class competitive flight program element, with expanded

opportunities• Continues pre-formulation studies for Decadal survey-recommended missions• Supports operation and data analysis of ISS-based instruments: CATS and RapidScat• Funds initiatives for enhanced application of NASA Earth Science Data, including Carbon

Monitoring System and joint NASA/USAID SERVIR 10

Long-term Measurement Mandate Missions

• Precision Altimetry following the launch of Jason-3• FY16-20 budget supports NASA contributions to Jason-CS

– LV, radiometer, laser retroreflector; etc. NASA funding for mission ops and data analysis; 2020 launch

• Continued development of SWOT (2020 launch)

– Solar Irradiance • TSIS-2 and beyond transferred to NASA in FY13• FY16-20 budget supports completion of TSIS-1 and flight on ISS, LRD

August 2017– Recognizes NOAA FY15 appropriation for TSIS-1

– Earth Radiation Balance (RBI instrument)• RBI continues to be developed by NASA for flight on JPSS-2
